It has been discussed here many times. Rolled Challenger fenders exist, they have 1971 part numbers & the '71 notch' at the front & they all appear to have been replacement parts so far. One guy will say Creative Industries modified them but he has no real proof. I have compared 1970 Challenger fenders from my T/A, a Hemi car, 318 cars, 1971 cars & found no rolled lips on any of them. One pre-production planning letter does mention that fender modification may be needed for the 15" tires. Not long after that, a new letter was published saying that the fender mods were no longer needed because they decided to use smaller front tires, so there was no longer an issue. I am not afraid to be proved wrong, no one ever learns anything if they are 'right' all the time. So, if anyone has real proof of different fenders on these cars I would really LOVE to see it, honest.

If you are speaking of me BW I never said anything about TA fenders, only 1970 Hemi E body fenders.Only until the factory modified fenders were ready in early March of 70.Those were stamped not rolled.If the Creative modified fenders are not on a 70 car they were removed over time since the experts did not think they were factory fenders.Some were removed due to an accident.
The hood design for TA and 340 Six Pak E-bodies were done at Creative.
I worked at Creative. I did the fender mods.I worked on the hoods.
I take offence to your thinly veiled attack on my character.

I have two AARs and both have original paint. My orange car is not rolled.It was built on 4 09. My green car has rolled fenders. The pass side has been replaced with an NOS fender at some time and the fender repainted. It has the rolled lip and it still has the stenciled part number visible on the inside of the fender. Both lips are rolled. The the green car was built on 3-31.
if you could would you be kind enough to post a pic or two showing both?? thank you..
Are you wanting a picture of the car or the rolled lip?
